Hello, I am new to this forum and would like to ask for some advice.
I own a 6G 80gb iPod Classic which I had bought in 2008 for about $210. This has been the only gadget of mine that I cannot live without and has given me not troubles point blank. The iPod screen has a pretty big dead pixel area which doesn't bother me much though. However, a few weeks ago, my iPod started showing a Pending sector in its HDD diagnostic and started malfunctioning which I fixed by formatting it. The Realloc count is now 140 sectors and it has no Pending sectors anymore.
The Apple stores near me are letting me exchange my iPod for the new 7G/6.5G iPod Classic 160gb (retail price in my country is about $335) by paying $140. I know this might seem an extremely obvious choice to many, and though I am willing to shell out the 140, I am a college student so most such decisions require prior thought. So finally, should I or should I not upgrade my iPod for the new one?
